#HeartUnions Week is an annual celebration of the trade union movement and what we achieve for our members.
It runs this week (from 10-16 February), and we are asking WGGB members to help make your union stronger by recruiting a friend or colleague. It’s only by joining together, and with strength in numbers, we can fight for better pay, terms and conditions, protect your copyright in an age of AI and campaign on the issues that matter to you.
We’ve recently relaunched our website which has a special online tool to help support you recruit another writer by email, with text that is automatically copied and pasted into an email for you, or that you can adapt yourself. You can access it here.
We have also produced some #HeartUnions social media graphics so why not post about what your union membership means to you and why you think other writers should join? (Download the Instagram flyer here and a landscape flyer for your other channels here)
Please tag us on Bluesky @writersguildgb.bsky.social, Instagram @writersguildgb, Facebook or LinkedIn.
Every new member increases WGGB’s collective power and strength in negotiating, campaigning and lobbying for writers in TV, film, theatre, audio, books, poetry, comedy, animation and videogames.
You can find out more about #HeartUnions Week, which is co-ordinated each year by the TUC, here.
